At Wednesday's hearing with former special counsel Robert Mueller, both veteran GOP lawmakers drew a distinction between Mueller's report on his investigation into President Trump and the impeachment inquiry into Clinton.
Reps. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin and Steve Chabot of Ohio not only sat on the committee during the proceedings in 1998 and 1999, they were also two of the managers for impeachment. Both forcefully argued at the time that Clinton's wrongdoing as detailed in the report from independent counsel Kenneth Starr necessitated impeachment.
"Well, we have studiously kept in the center of our investigation our mandate, and our mandate does not go to other ways of addressing conduct," Mueller said."Our mandate goes to developing the report and putting the report into the attorney general.
